Luke Evans Says Plot of Crow Remake is "Mostly The Same"

Over the weekend it was confirmed that Welsh actor Luke Evans will play the title role in the forthcoming remake of The Crow.

Now at liberty to talk about the part, Evans has talked about his relationship to the original and how it will remain largely faithful to the source material.

"[The Crow] was a very poignant film from my childhood, which I remember vividly," said Evans in an interview with SuperheroHype. "The soundtrack, also. It was such a solid performance that Brandon Lee gave. It was a very tragic end for somebody that probably would have had a very promising career..."

He goes on to say that the film will remain largely faithful to the original. "I'm Eric Draven. I'm the same character. Obviously, he's been refreshed and brought up to date. We're reimagining it to a certain extent, but the story and the plot is mostly the same."
